ORFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS MINNESOTA'’S PRESS. ; (Duluth News Tribune.) ? ) It has been said so often that the press of, this country is “bought,” “kept,” “hired,” etc., that a good many honest- minded people believe it. It is common practice because hu- man nature for those whose toes are treaded upon not to be pa- tient. . Others, when newspapers advocate something of which they disapprove or oppose what they approve look for a “hid- den motive,” a dark influence, some one who will profit, Some ten years ago the newspapers of Minnesota made an anti-railroad pass campaign and killed this admitted evil. Where was the newspaper profit? They lost, as they knew they would, all roalroad privileges. This was a considerable finan- cial loss to all of them. : ! The fact that Minnesota was near-dry before prohibition and that prohibition has been voted, could not have been without the suppoft of the newspapers. Where was the profiit? Is it in ‘church advertising?. There was no lack of beer and liquor business to get for the taking. =~ : “Puring the war the newspapers of the state were loyal, ‘We know many that this has cost what has hrought them close 16 bankruptcy. But they never wavered. It has profited none of them a penny over their usual revenues, but it is known that there was millions of German money to buy just 2 semblance of German favor and that the German agents reported that Ameri- can newspapers were not purchasable. < : If a newspaper regarded only its revenues, it would never have a decided opinion, nor express a decided judgment on any subject. Such a quiescent policy disturbs no one and, while it renders a newspaper valueless, it produces no “indignant sub- scriber.” Cases could be multiplied when the press of this state, at least, have stood almost as a unit for what was right, but they knew meant financial loss to them. Indeed, Whenever a news- paper takes an aggressive position on any subject, it is at-its own loss:in revenue. Nor-do we believe anyone can peint to any instance where the state press has advocated what was against the interests.of the people as a whole, what favored any special interest as against state interest, or where it has failed to take an honest and fair position on any public issue, ‘ 0 GLOSS. (Providence (R. L) Journal.) 8 . Tt is-all right for Mr. Burleson to express the ‘“keenest ap- preciation of the unselfish efforts and arduous tasks” of his em- ngyQL But nobody knows better than those-employes that it is not so that “in the face of the great difficulties created by the war the postal extablishment has given an " efficient: service practically without curtailment or restriction.” Mr. Burleson’s smug:proclamation is out of joint with the notorious fact. When over the shouldér of his working force, the beneficiaries of this appreciative message, he tells us that “the postal service has been and is being maintained at a standard of efficiency the highest known in its history,” he says something that nobody but ‘himself believes—if indeed, he believes it himself. The difficulties created by the war might have been overcome. The capital.and insuperable difficulty, before and during the war and now, is Burleson. ! : words butter no par¥snips. Mr. Burleson’s affected tri- bute'to his employes.is really an attempt to gloss his own dis- creditable official record. The nerve of the professional .poli- tician.is unquestioned. But the nerve of a southern professional politician is beyond all bounds. ! —_— NOT A PORCH CLIMBER. - “I do not purpose,” declares Senator Reed of Missouri, “to engage in any second-story work to put Ford in the senate.” There is little doubt that Mr. Reed expresses the sentiments: of otheér conservative and self-respecting democrats in the senate, who, like him, are good losers and willing to let the majority vote of the people of Michigan be accepted as final. i ————0. v P2 Having been Belgium’s guest so long, Germany after her departure might at least have sent a “bread-and-butter letter” to her. But we have yet to hear that such a document has been received at Brussels. o The Geimans’ polite farewell to Belgium consisted in the blowing up of twenty-seven steel mills,~ They are altogether too handy with explosives. —o0 The price of butter and the price of eggs are seeing which can roll down hill faster—and the spectators are applauding the stunt. i i el Om‘_men who were assaulted and peppered in France are now anxious to be mustered out as seasoned veterans.
